Thanks John, that certanly works. According to George's suggestion, i
will take a look to the Queue module.
One question about
for mythread in mythreads: # for all threads
mythread.join() # wait for thread to finish
That code will wait for the first count(*) to finish and then continues
to the next count(*). Because if is that so, it will be some kind of
'use threads, but execute one at the time'.
I mean, if mytreads[0] is a very longer one, all the others will be
waiting...rigth?
There is an approach in which i can 'sum' after *any* thread finish?
Could a Queue help me there?
Thanks!

collecting results in threading app
Hi all. [EMAIL PROTECTED] over here. Im missing some point here, but cant
figure out which one.
This little peace of code executes a 'select count(*)' over every table
in a database, one thread per table:
class TableCounter(threading.Thread):
def __init__(self, conn, table):
self.connection = connection.Connection(host=conn.host,
port=conn.port, user=conn.user, password='', base=conn.base)
threading.Thread.__init__(self)
self.table = table
def run(self):
result = self.connection.doQuery("select count(*) from %s" %
self.table, [])[0][0]
print result
return result
class DataChecker(metadata.Database):
def countAll(self):
for table in self.tables:
t = TableCounter(self.connection, table.name)
t.start()
return
It works fine, in the sense that every run() method prints the correct
value.
But...I would like to store the result of t.start() in, say, a list. The
thing is, t.start() returns None, so...what im i missing here?
Its the desing wrong?
thanks!

They are many many many ones to know more than i do! Well, i dont quite think that it would be "no memory wastage", since when you read/write from disk, there is memory involved in the process. I *really* believe that, when data goes huge, a *real* database (like postgres, and others) has to come and play the game.

sharing objects between classes
Hi all. Im wondering the way to share a database connection between some
classes:
So far, i came up with a simple class schema, where each class means
each different relation, i mean i have the follow classes
class Database(object):
## make the connection
self.conn = make_conn()
class Table(object):
def get_fields:
And at this point i dont know how to use the Database.conn attribute,
since the get_fields method will perform a query over the given database.
At first, i just define the Table class as a inner class of Database,
but if i try a
class Database(object):
## make the connection
def __init__(self):
self.conn = sql_connect()
self.table = Table('foo')
class Table(object): ## inner class
def get_fields(self, name):
I get a "NameError: global name 'Table' is not defined".
So, which would the right pattern to use here? Using a global module? I
dont know why, but i dont like that idea too much.
Any comments will be appreciated!
Thanks!

dealing with binary files
Hi all. Im trying to read a binary data from an postgres WAL archive.
If i make a

line = xfile.next()

This file suppose to have some information about database activity, but
at this point i cant do more than this, because i cant figure out what
to do in order to have some 'readable' text.

If the strings looks *allways* that way, so its not to complicated:

plpythonu and "hello concurrent world"
Hi all. Im having some "problems" with a small concurrent plpython function.
Based on a small example [1] about concurrent programming, there is some
code which works fine under python:
#! /usr/bin/python
import threading, random
import time
def myPrint(str):
print 'searching...', str
time.sleep(random.randint(10, 1) / 1000.0)
print str, 'OK!'
myThreads = (threading.Timer(random.random(), myPrint, ["hello"]), \
threading.Timer(random.random(), myPrint, ["concurrent"]), \
threading.Timer(random.random(), myPrint, ["world"]))
for thr in myThreads:
thr.start()
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: python pp.py
searching... concurrent
searching... world
searching... hello
hello OK!
concurrent OK!
world OK!
So far, so good. Almost the same example in plpythonu:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION search_t()
returns bigint
security definer
as
$$
import threading, random
import time
def myPrint(str):
plpy.notice ('searching...', str)
time.sleep(random.randint(10, 1) / 1000.0)
plpy.notice(str, 'OK!')
myThreads = (threading.Timer(random.random(), myPrint, ["hello"]), \
threading.Timer(random.random(), myPrint, ["concurrent"]), \
threading.Timer(random.random(), myPrint, ["world"]))
for thr in myThreads:
thr.start()
return 1
$$ language plpythonu;
gse_new_version=# select * From search_t();
search_t
--
1
(1 row)
Looks like myPrint() is not executing at all!!
Have no idea why, so i decided writing both on python and postgres
forums. Any ideas??
Postgres 8.1.3
python 2.5.1
Thanks!!

But, for a start, if you are not using the 'w' field in the WHERE clause, the ind4 index is not necesary at all. Having more indexes that you need is a waste of space and perfomance. It also depends on the amount of records your table has. -Hash indexes are discouraged -GiST indexes are for more advanced uses than equality comparisons -Rtree are used in multidimentional indexing So, keep the default btree. Do the test with the diff indexes if you want. You may use EXPLAIN for viewing the index usage. And dont forget about VACUUM too! Cheers.

multimethods decorator
Hi all. Im reading the Gido's aproach using decorators at http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=101605 It looks good to me, but the examples shows the functionality using functions. Now, when i try to give this decorator into a method, if i try the class test(object): @multimethod(...) def met(self, ...): The multimethod decorator needs the types of the arguments, and, if the met method requires self as the first argument, the multimethod should look like @multimethod(self.__class__, bla, ble) or some like that... Now i know that im wrong, because i have this error >@multimethod(self.__class__) >NameError: name 'self' is not defined So what would be the first argument to @multimethod?? Thanks!!

migrating to packages
Hi all. I have a single file with several classes, wich i want to separate into several packages. The big file is named, say MYCLASES, and contains a class named A(object), and B(A). We have been using this MYCLASES in the from MYCLASES import B syntax, but i cant reproduce this syntax using packages. Im forced to write from PACKAGE.B import *, and if that means i have to touch so many files, that would really be a problem to me. There is (i cant find it yet) a place where i can read about that kind of package 'migration' situation? Because i *really* want to keep the FROM PACKAGE import B syntax. Thanks!

executing list of methods (and collecting results)
Hi all. Im in this situation: I want to perform several kind of
(validating) methods to a given value.
Lets say i have a class named Number, and the following methods:
is_really_a_number(),
is_even(),
is_greater_than_zero(),
and so on. All of them returning booleans.
I want the collect_validators() method is to execute any of the above
methods, and collect their names as items of a list (wich will be the
collect_validators() return value).
My first approach is:
[code]
def collect_validators(self):
v_dict = { 'is_really_a_number': is_really_a_number,
'is_even': is_even,
'is_greater_than_zero', is_greater_than_zero
}
for name, meth in v_dict.items():
result = meth()
if result: yield name
[/code]
I wondering if is this a good pattern to apply, i like the way it looks
like, at least to me it looks `natural', but...im calling every method
twice here? One in v_dict and again on the dict iteration?
Any suggestion will be great!
Thanks!
Gerardo

In fact i just used it once), but seems like you will have to reload all the page (all the table at least). Because now is a different scenario. If the table is paginated, it looks like you will send, say 50 results at one time, then (when pressing 'next 50'), anhoter 50, and so on. So AJAX only will have THOSE 50 for ordering. Another approach would be returning de entire recordset, and implement all the 'next' and 'previous' links via AJAX. And i dont think you will like to send the entire result. I dont. What will i do (at least from WIK for now), is having a set of `hrefs' (maybe with some nice arrows) in all of the table headers, to indicate the desired order you want to get. And, if you have a column table named 'age', you will make those href like '' then your cgi python script will take that mess after the ? sign, parse it (via cgi module perhaps), and make a new query, with the 'order by age asc' clause, wich are the 'arguments' in the url. There is allways a lot of ways to do some stuff. I will check into de AJAX list too! Cheers. Gerardo -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

extending of adding method?
Hi all. I have a question about design. The general question would be: Where is the line beteween extending a class and adding new methods to that class? And the particular case im involved is: I have a class (say USERCLASS) who implements a user interface. One of his methods is called `login'. Later on i got the order of implementing a `single login', which off course means a single user cant login if a session is already started for that user. Extending comes to my mind at first (it works good, actually). But now im thinikng if there some problem in adding a method to the USERCLASS class named single_login(), who will take care of applying the rules of single sign on. Which one you guys will pick up? USERCLASS().single_login() or SINGLELOGINUSERCLASS().login() Thanks for your oppinions! Gerardo -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Maybe im blind here in my intent to use decorators somewhere, but even re-checking you samples (pretty much the kind of example i show to my boss), it looks nicer (to me) when using a decorator!! I guess im becoming a `deco junky' :) Later you expose some interesing points about that login page and redirecting stuff...well, im my case, the login page does depends on user properties, wich (at this point) are stored in a `session data variable' (actually a table row), so the login pages take care about user properties, not the decorator itself, but the other part of the page. I guess decorators has is own public, well, im one of that public. Let my be with my deco-junk alone, you bastard :) Thanks a lot for your opinnions, guys!

Hi all. I guess i have a conceptual question: Im planing using a quite simple decorator to be used as a conditional for the execution of the function. I mean something like that: @is_logued_in def change_pass(): bla bla And so on for all the other functions who needs that the user is still loged in. where obviosly the is_logued_in() function will determine if the dude is still loged in, and THEN execute change_pass(). If the dude is not loged in, change_pass() is NOT executed at all. Instead, it will be redirected to the `login' screen. Something in my mind tells me that this is not the pythonic way...But i like the idea, so please tell me that im in the right way :) Cheers.

Anhoter HURRA for list comprehensions: >>> a = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'] >>> b = ['a','c'] >>> [x in b and x.upper() or x for x in a] ['A', 'b', 'C', 'd'] Is what you want?

(May be OT) developing in jython, using in java?
Hi all. I dont know if this is the right place for asking this, but maybe some of you know where i must go. The thing is: Im writing a very simple class (in python) to access some LDAP server. A companion will access to the same LDAP server too, but his developing in java. So i said "ok, wait, i dont think we have to make the exact same thing twice! Let me see if jython can help us"I can find (after a quick review) an answer to this: "Can i, using jython, make a package so my companion can import that package as a webservice??" As im farly new in python, *very* new at Java, and *even newer* at jython, my brain just said to me "ok, i dont know, i want a beer", so maybe some of you can gide me to where i must go in order to clarify my ideas. Thanks!!! Gerardo -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Delete a file from a CGI
When you execute a cgi, the program runs under the "apache user"
(ussualy www or wwwrun or so), so THAT user needs permissions for
deleting the file. Other approach could be suid'ing the cgi program.

I25 barcode generator?
Hi. Im looking for an I25 barcode generator. I found a couple of nice EAN barcode generators, but this application needs an I25 barcode. Since this will be an web application, i need to do it in the server side. In python, off course :) Anybody knows one? Thanks! Gerardo -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

list comprehension (searching for onliners)
Hi all: I have this list thing as a result of a db.query: (short version)
result = [{'service_id' : 1, 'value': 10},
{'service_id': 2, 'value': 5},
{'service_id': 1, 'value': 15},
{'service_id': 2, 'value': 15},
]
and so on...what i need to do is some list comprehension that returns me
something like
result = [
{
'service_id' : 1, 'values': [ {'value': 10},
{'value': 15}]
},
{
'service_id' : 2, 'values': [ {'value': 5}, {'value': 15}]
}
My problem now is i cant avoid have "repeteated" entries, lets say, in
this particular case, 2 entries for "service_id = 1", and other 2 for
"service_id =2".
Ill keeping blew off my hair and drinking more cofee while searching for
this damn onliner im looking for.
Thanks dudes.

plpython and pickle
Hi all, sory if this is kind of [OT], but cannot find the answer for
this behaviour
Im programming a db function using plpython...i have a db called
'sessions', and a postgres 8.1.2 database called 'test'. In 'sessions',
i store several values in a `pickled' way so
If a do
"""
You are now connected to database "sessions".
sessions=# select * from
getsessiondata('QQtEpLoKHnvbKGSpgJgYMPyCdHgXSi');
getsessiondata
(dp0--ENTER--S---alucod-ENTER--p1--ENTER--S---32009436-ENTER--p2--ENTER--sS---respuestas_1-ENTER--p3--ENTER--S---3-ENTER--p4--ENTER--sS---respuestas_2-ENTER--p5--ENTER--S---2-ENTER--p6--ENTER--sS---respuestas_3-ENTER--p7--ENTER--S---4-ENTER--p8--ENTER--sS---submit-ENTER--p9--ENTER--S---Responder-ENTER--p10--ENTER--s.
(1 row)
"""
Perfect. Thats what i spect to see.
Now, if i do (in 'test' database)
"""
data = plpy.execute("SELECT * from dblink('dbname=sessions', 'select * from
getsessiondata(\'\'%s\'\')') as t1(session_data name); " %
session_id)[0]["session_data"];
plpy.notice(data)
"""
i got this
NOTICE: ("'(dp0--ENTER--S---alucod-ENTER--p1--ENTER--S---32009436-'",)
The pickled string as been truncated at some point, and when i try to unpickle
it, i got error.
Now, the question:
What da hell can i do?
-Postgresql 8.1.2
-Python 2.4.2
Im not even sure if this is a pickle, plpython nor postgresql issue, so
im sory if this is [OT] here.
Thanks!!

operator creation?
Hi all. Ill try to explain mi situation:
Lets say i have an DB object, who implements the querys to the database
trough a method called DBObject.doQuery.
On the other hand, i have 50 sql functions stored in the database. So i
can call DBObject.doQuery('select * from my_sql_function()')...Ok, what
do i want to achieve, is some mecanism to be able to call
DBObject.my_sql_function(), but without actually having to declare the
method called "my_sql_function". May be with creating a `->' operator...
maybe overrwriting the '.' operator...
Im not shure. If someone understand my problem (and my poor english),
please help :)
